How does one sum up a life in a paragraph? I can tell you what I "do" in the typical response to the question "what do you do?" which is really "What is your vocation?" And to that, I am an entrepreneur, designer, marketer and inventor/product developer with an impressive resume who struggles with a consumer culture and the negative impact it has on our being.

I can tell you about what is important to me. Jesus, the Church, people. My amazing wife and "have to see to believe" uncommonly stellar kids are the earthly light of my life.

I can tell you my "bent" which is toward creativity and creative expression. A desire to see the Church influence our culture through a creativity sourced in the Creator.

I roast my own coffee, make my own ice cream, build guitars and guitar amplifiers, write songs and play electronic music first thing in the morning. I love to teach and study, to challenge, to see people be all that they were created to be.

But at the end of it all. I desire to be more like Jesus, to love people passionately, and to see people enter the Kingdom, meet and bow before the King, then live a life under His rule, teaching others to do the same.
